Answer:
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Carol = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Luke = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Required
How far did they row together
To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.
[tex]Total = Carol + Luke[/tex]
This gives;
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Total = \frac{1+3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{4}{8}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile
